Yeah, so I have this motif in my knitting project... and I did the decreases backwards. I finally just noticed, but it's WAY too late to unknit the whole thing, ya know? so I dropped down and fixed one of the twelve motifs, to see how "bad" it was vs fixed... (left is before, right is after)

It's not a big deal, but am I absolutely gonna fix the other 11? YES! OF COURSE I AM!!

So, I got to the second motif (of 12), and decided it was going to be much more sane to run a safety line, and frog back to the beginning of that Vee of YO's. (Great Choice, Rey!). I did so, I went from row 107, to row 92.

When I went to reset my spot in my pattern tracker, I looked at the chart again, only to notice that I HAD FOLLOWED THE CHART, THE DECREASES SWITCH BETWEEN THE BOTTOM AND TOP OF THE DIAMOND.

...excuse me while I pull my hair out.

Being the rebel I am, I am absolutely reworking it with ssk's, because i like it when my decreases flow nicely, dammit! :P

(to answer the question in my comments on the original post, it's an Indigo Dragonfly Merino/Silk sock-weight blend custom-dyed for me from a sweater-club many a year ago, called "See No Attle, Hear No Attle" which never ceases to make me giggle :D
